Thinking back to when i had a Wii and remembering how jerky the response of the controller can be i'm just a little bit worried about his.
I can just imagine the crane going mental and swinging round and round when the Python script crashes :)

When you think about it, it's not that much stranger than using one mouse to control all the applications on your computer.
